Has anyone ever told you the story of the mountain and the hound?
Lovely little tale of brotherly love.
The Hound was just a pup of six years old maybe.
Gregor a few years older
already a big lad already getting a bit of a reputation
some lucky boys are just born with a talent for violence
One evening, Gregor found his little brother playing with a toy by the fire.
Gregor's toy. A wooden Knight.
Gregor never said a word.
He just grabbed his brother by the scruff of his neck
and shoved his face into the burning coals.
Held him there while the boy screamed.
While his face melted.
There aren't very many people who know that story.
I won't tell anyone I promise.
No, please don't.
If the Hound so much has heard you mention it
I'm afraid all the knights in King's Landing would not be able to save you
